Who would you say is the best wrestler(s) to come from Texas: The Funks, The Von Erichs, Dusty Rhodes, Steve Austin, other

Here is Herb Kuntz tid bits for 1/22/98 17 years ago today. This is another long read FYI. - The WWF had the Royal Rumble this past Sunday. Overall, it didn't come off as a strong show, really having only one strong performance (by Shawn Michaels). The finishes on the show were absolutely atrocious, bringing back memories of Dusty Rhodes at his creative worst. The show has to get a thumbs in a middle at best, once again bordering on down. Quick run-down: * Vader beat Goldust: Dustin Rhodes is starting to look so much like his father, it's become scarier than his gimmick. The match was a throwaway, disappointing since both guys used to be able to do so much more. The finish was cute: Vader went up for a Vader Bomb, Luna jumped on his back, and he hit the bomb anyhow, with Luna riding him down. The show could have gone either way from here. * Max Mini & Mosaic & Nova beat El Torito & Battalion & Tarantula in a Mexican minis trio match: Sunny refereed. The minis were way off their usual form, relying far too ...

u know Virgil/Vincent were ways of making fun of Dusty Rhodes / Vinnie Mac? poor dude just used as a joke by his employers

Pulled these match results at random from a 1986 card: Arn & NWA TV Champion Ole Anderson defeated Hector Guerrero & Denny Brown Robert Gibson defeated NWA Tag Team Champion Dennis Condrey Jimmy Valiant & Manny Fernandez defeated Pez Whatley & the Barbarian Wahoo McDaniel defeated Jimmy Garvin in an Indian Death Match NWA National Heavyweight Champion Tully Blanchard defeated Ron Garvin via count-out The Road Warriors & Paul Ellering defeated Krusher Kruschev, Ivan Koloff, & Baron Von Raschke Nikita Koloff defeated Magnum TA Dusty Rhodes & Baby Doll defeated Jim Cornette & NWA Tag Team Champion Bobby Eaton NWA World Champion Ric Flair defeated Ricky Morton in a steel cage match As you look these over, a great majority of these matches could have main evented a card of action. Ric Flair as world heavyweight champion would have earned main event with all rights and privileges but had he not been on this show, there are many that could have been used in the main. On this card, Ric faced Ricky Morton and dur ...

Tully Blanchard vs Dusty Rhodes in a first blood match for the World TV Title

WWE Then Now Forever Tournament. There are 4 Brackets (Wrestlemania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series), each bracket will have 16 superstars, and 4 wildcards. The Winner or the Wild Card Tournaments will be the 16 seed in Each Bracket. A few things first, The Superstars had to make major impact in WWE, that is why, there is no Dusty Rhodes, and Goldberg is a 13 seed, because he was there for 1 year and won 1 title, also Chris Benoit will never be in Post of mine. Finally the Wild Card is up and coming superstars. Therefore he is not in this tournament. Here are the brackets, and Voting will open soon!

Today in wrestling history: 23 years ago today, WCW held The Great American Bash from the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. About 7,000 were in attendance, with about 145,000 homes purchasing the event on PPV. It's the first major show for WCW since the sudden departure of their world champion at the time, Ric Flair. Flair left and/or was fired from the promotion over a contract dispute and took the WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt with him (the Big Gold belt) since he was owed his deposit on the belt. NWA, as it was a separate entity from WCW, still recognized Flair as their world champion until his WWF debut in September. WCW commissioned a new belt, but it was not ready in time for the show, so Dusty Rhodes used an old heavyweight title belt from Florida as a makeshift WCW world title belt. Performers could be seen given less than full effort on the show in protest of the Flair departure, and fans throughout the arena chanted "We want Flair!" during the night. The combination of elements m ...

- Mike Mooneyham of The Post & Courier has a new article up with singer Darius Rucker, talking about being a Ric Flair fan and watching wrestling growing up. Rucker said he bought one of Ric Flair's robes at a charity auction years ago and has one of his title belts on display in his home. Rucker talked about who is the greatest: "For me, the Mount Rushmore of greats would be Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Bruno Sammartino or Lou Thesz. You can do either one of them in that fourth spot. But I think Ric Flair is the greatest of all time. He's the greatest I've ever seen ... on the mic and in the ring. Hogan gets all the accolades because he was up in New York with (WWE owner Vince) McMahon. But when you talk about on the microphone or in the ring, he doesn't hold a candle to Ric Flair. When you watch Ric on TV, that's who he is. He's the Nature Boy 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I just love him. He's the most personable guy. That argument over who is the greatest of all time is such a big thing. ...

Today is the Multiple Myeloma Race for Research event. A great event that raises money for research to fight this awful cancer. Every year my family and our wonderful friends which is pretty much family all gather at New Canaan High School to participate. We used to do it in hopes that a cure would be found in time for my brother but that dream did not come true. Now we do it in his memory and honor in hopes that a cure will be found and no more people will die for this disease. This year was our best fundraising year. We raised 9745.00! Together we walk or run with pride, with love and with heavy hearts. I miss you Dusty Rhodes! The money raised is to help others but this walk to me will always be for you. I love you my brother always!

the new episode of WWE Warehouse says Dusty Rhodes competed in 1st casket match do you know what year it was?

I can't believe it! On June 3, 2013 my dream came to fruition as I started my 1st day of employment with WWE. I was the 1st employee at the Performance Center, and one year later I'm pretty much the 1st one in the building, last one out. Just because "the dream" came true, doesn't mean the hard work stopped! And speaking of "the dream" I still can't believe I work side by side with "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes every day. His creative mind is incredible and he has become a tremendous mentor to me, helping me navigate the creative landscape of our company. I can't thank Bill DeMott enough for his guidance, support and friendship. He has made my experience here in this company incredible and he means the world to me, keeps me sane, and is an amazing workout partner and support system, lifting me when I'm down, keeping me motivated, and also excited to go go to work each and every day. A big thank you to my friend Brandon Horgeshimer who is incredible at what he does, and a creative force whom does ...

The Rhodes Brothers are fantastic. So adept at Southern Style tag matches, as you'd expect of Dusty's kids.

03 Jun 2014 04:17

It's like when The Road Warriors spiked Dusty Rhodes..wait I popped for that. I was a a messed up kid.

All right. We have seen the end of The Shield. For Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, for Dusty Rhodes, For "Mean" Gene Okerlund,

The only perfect partner for Goldust is his dad "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes... all it takes 'is a hug and kiss to seal the deal!'

03 Jun 2014 02:40

The son of Haku didn't work out for him. The son of Dusty Rhodes didn't work out for him. Will Sin Cara dig up Akeem's kid next?

03 Jun 2014 02:39

I'd rather see Dusty Rhodes come out or even Marlena

Cody Rhodes has as much taste in tag team partners as Dusty had in valets.

I would hope for Dusty Rhodes but I don't think that will happen.

"I TOLD you not to release the Kraken, but did you listen to me? No." Worst plan in any game you've ever run or played in? I've got a zillion of 'em, but the grand champion is NOT the party that accepted gifts (i.e., a ten-pound sack of cocaine) from Axis Tanshell, the Drugged Dragon, but the dark troll. The one that Hal played, basing the character on The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes. (Had an elbow pad. He fought a scorpion man once, couldn't touch the thing with his poleaxe, so he said Heck With It and dropped a bionic elbow on its back, and of course rolled a critical hit and killed it in one shot, and that elbow was his weapon of choice the rest of the campaign.) Anyway, that troll went up to a perfectly ordinary bison in a perfectly ordinary trade caravan that was intended as FRICKIN' STAGE DRESSING in the very first session of the campaign, we're literally STARTING, and he went up to it and bellowed "BOO-GAH!" right in its face. For fun. Spooked it so bad it went nuts, starting a Rube Goldbergian ch ...

Ring Rust Radio's long-running fantasy draft series is back again, and this time the RRR panelists focused on the Pre-WrestleMania Era from 1980 through 1984. Although it may be difficult for some current fans to fathom professional wrestling without WrestleMania, the business had plenty of success when territories ruled the roost, but popularity certainly started to increase in the early-to-mid 1980s with 'Mania on the horizon. The particular draft lasted 25 rounds and was serpentine in nature. Only wrestlers who competed from 1980 through 1984 were available to be selected, and the RRR panelists have now put together the best possible fantasy cards with the rosters they drafted. As a reader, your job is to vote on who put together the best overall card. When voting, remember that these cards would have taken place between 1980 and 1984, so nothing that the wrestlers accomplished after that time period in real life should be taken into consideration. Don't forget to cast your vote and tune in to Ring Rus ...

East Coast CAW Wrestling New Millennium (unaired show) THE LAST STOP BEFORE PROM NIGHT!!! Official Results 1) The mystery opponent turned out to be--- McCool herself. Mai was NOT amused in the slightest and the same could be said for Sam and Kaoruko. In fact, Mai was so angry that her aunt came back that she left before the Battle Royal started AND EVEN LEFT THE BUILDING (or so we thought...) Turns out Mom (April Valentine) MADE HER go back into the ring before Mai was even able to start the car. Order of Elimination: Vella Briefs (2:45) Melody with a nasty Super Kick eliminated Vella Kaoruko Himekoji (3:19) Michelle McCool gave a Big Boot so hard that she kicked Kaoruko straight into the table. Kaoruko barely escaped a concussion, but bit her tounge on impact and is reported to have a swollen tounge and bled for some time.
